MP: Palin should listen to her mother
OTTAWA — Sarah Palin should listen to her mother.

That was the advice from one MP Tuesday following the former U.S. vice-presidential hopeful’s revelation that her parents had sought medical treatment from the Canadian health-care system she has so often criticized.

“Of course her parents chose Canada for health care, it’s the best health-care system in the world,” said NDP health critic Judy Wasylycia-Leis. “Too bad Sarah Palin doesn’t realize it now.”

Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett, who is also a doctor, said the Palin family’s story is not unique.

When she testified before a U.S. Senate committee in September, Bennett told the story of a U.S. Vietnam veteran who had to go to Canada for cancer treatment because he couldn’t afford medical care in the country he fought for.

Looks like Sarah's "hustling" has reached the Parliament of Canada. The only Party that had "no comment" was the Conservative party.

:rofl:

She provided an opportunity for Canadians to brag on their healthcare system - and rightfully so. Funny that the conservatroids are mute on the subject :rofl:

6. Years ago, men flocked to Canada for prostrate surgery...
...they were using some state-of-the-art outpatient thing. Do they still do that?

9. You Would Think So, But It Won't. They're Shameless.
They'd piss on a dying soldier if he didn't agree with their war-mongering, chicken-hawking ways.
